    On VR, this game is a must play. It's much more immersive and can replace Horror Nights at Universal Studios. IMO, best VR game out and it's not even a VR only game. Amazing... !

    This game, Wow this game, Capcom has learned from their mistakes and completely fix the franchise, Hell this game might be my favourite resident evil game now its that good, First of all we start off with the story, the pacing is very good and makes you want to play more to find out more about the story, Ethan, Mia, Zoe, Jack, Margueritte, Lucas and Eveline are all really good charactersThis game, Wow this game, Capcom has learned from their mistakes and completely fix the franchise, Hell this game might be my favourite resident evil game now its that good, First of all we start off with the story, the pacing is very good and makes you want to play more to find out more about the story, Ethan, Mia, Zoe, Jack, Margueritte, Lucas and Eveline are all really good characters and I will remember them to this day.(Especially Jack Baker) The videotapes are a perfect addition to this game which helps you know what's going to be on the next path. The story gets a 10/10 for me. The graphics, for a linear story game it has pretty good graphics even if it is a dynamic resolution. For me the Graphics get a 10/10 as well. The gameplay, ooo the gameplay is simple but great. The ammo found in the game is scarce but just enough for the player. The enemies, there's more than just the bakers, there's the molds and others that i will not spoil. The gun mechanics are great. The gameplay gets a 10/10 again. The acting, For a resident evil game the acting is very superb, especially lucas' and jack's 10/10. The dialogue, I added this section cos resident evil is known for silly dialogue, the dialogue in this game is very well done and not cringey or dumb its especially good a resident evil game. 10/10. Only downside to this game is that it's very short i completed it in 6 hours and 45 minutes and I wish it could be longer, but I will definitely remember this game for sure. This game might be my favourite resident evil game but I will play re4 again just to make sure. Overall I give this game a 10/10 its simply a masterpiece and I can't wait for the dlc, I will for sure buy them all. Can't wait what capcom are going to do for resident evil 8… Expand

    It is definitely a Resident Evil game, that much cannot be denied.
    The game captures the feel of the original with ideas such as ammo conservation and manual saving, with little touches such as a save room that has its own music, and also with the nature of the objectives.

    The game captures the feel of the original with ideas such as ammo conservation and manual saving, with little touches such as a save room that has its own music, and also with the nature of the objectives. You'll be finding various keys throughout the game and you'll need to revisit certain areas in order to proceed further.

    However, it is not a total return to its roots. There are a lot of new concepts here, but that's not a bad thing.
    Resident Evil is known for evolving with time. RE4 did the same and it was well received.

    The new concepts include elements like the constant threat of the Baker family; you'll have to sneak through the house in order to avoid the family members. That is something that hasn't been experienced in any other older games, but it is easy to assume that games like Outlast and Alien have hugely influenced this new direction for the series. It is not a bad thing at all, it works very well.

    However, there are certain things that I didn't like:
    - Boss fights aren't well designed, and it's very easy to get through them. A game like Evil Within totally captured what a boss fight in a survival horror game should be like, but unfortunately, Resident Evil 7 lacks in that department.

    - The game really isn't that difficult. There is item management and a constant lack of ammunition, but the game itself isn't very challenging. Perhaps the game desperately needed a hard difficulty that could be selectable from the very beginning.

    - Puzzles are very simplistic, and they're rather bland. They don't require much thought at all. They're almost non-existent.

    - I feel like the game is missing a basic enemy character in the beginning stages. You are chased by Jack Baker in the beginning, and after a while you'll come across the Molded, but it seems like there's a missing enemy between these important encounters. A normal, quintessential zombie-type enemy would have added to the experience.

    Ultimately, the game isn't scary or terrifying, it is rather exciting and tense. Paranormal elements are not to be found here, and in that sense, the game is much more in line with something like Alien: Isolation than it is with a game like P.T.    … Expand

    A real gem with some flaws in the genre of horror games. Best VR game so far. I believe that even years after, "Baker's house" will still be mentioned as one of the best game scenarios in the history of video game.

    I was a hater when this was announced at E3 2016, saying it doesn't feel like a Resident Evil game and would be better off as it's own IP. I've never been proven wrong so badly in my entire life. The best way to put this game: It's basically the first Resident Evil's formula except in first person view. I was very skeptical but the first person view was done excellently to raise one's heart rate while playing the game. I got a sense of nostalgia from it due to many key elements that were shown in the game that I did not expect at all. Then let's take away the title for a moment and look at the game itself. It was a fun challenging game with just the right amount of horror to it. The puzzles and environments were engaging and the boss battles were some of the most fun boss battles I've encountered in a game. I was truly wowed by this game and cannot express how happy I am that Capcom has proven me wrong. I look back at how I was hating the game before release and thinking about Capcom just saying "Just trust us." That trust has certainly been earned.    … Expand

Reassembling that shattered bomb trigger device by lifting and turning and putting the pieces together with my hands in 3D in Batman Arkham VR was intensely immersive. Nothing like that is possible here, though. In fact, most of the VR titles I've played (the XWing simulation being the only exception) have used the move controllers and it feels quite compromising to use a regular controller with Resident Evil 7 when you're in VR mode. Here's hoping theyl add motion controller support with a patch.… Expand

Claire and Jill have all the personality of a sheet of printer paper (Claire recently was reimagined as a dead-ringer for Jessica Chastain, so now she's super boring AND super serious). The Bakers are the first truly memorable characters in the entire series. I will be quoting Jack Baker's "Welcome to the Family, son!" for years. This game is dark, it is scary, it is even *funny* just when it needs to be. Even our faceless protagonist has a couple of good lines that came at exactly the right moments. I especially like the very Ash-sounding line he delivers after first picking up the handgun, it sounds like something out of Evil Dead--not too stupid, not too cavalier, just a welcome poke at the palpable tension of the moment.

    Nobody is gonna bother reading a "9" review. You're gonna read maybe two "10"s at the top and twenty "0"s at the bottom that were typed by **** who didn't want to play the game because the internet told them it was really great without their favorite **** cookie-cutter, B-movie character. But if I'm wrong, listen to me: You will want to play this. Play with friends if you can. It is ****ing amazing. The only places I can think to knock it are for an underdeveloped branching narrative and a clunky ending (still worth it). Also, I think at least two competing background stories got smooshed together to explain the origin of the Baker family's situation but it's forgivable and still a very tight game overall.

    Loads of fun, super scary, photo-realistic, gory as hell-yet-I-could-still-play-it-without-freaking-out, excellent animations, voice acting, sound design, etc, etc. NOW GO BUY IT. From a local game retailer. Because honestly, Gamestop and Big Box stores can suck a fat one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe this game deserves a solid 8.5 score. The reason I'm giving it a 10 is to balance some of the negative reviews which gave the game a 0 because they said "why is there ghost's in the game? It's not RE". They have clearly not played the game and are going off the test demo (btw there are no ghost's in the game).

    The first half of the game feels like RE2 with the puzzles, limited supplies, and inventory management (I'm only comparing it to RE2 and not RE1 is because the puzzles in RE1 were much more complicated and RE2 was more lenient). The second half feels like RE5 with more action. Of course, if you were not conservative with supplies in the first half of the game, you'll still have to consider ammunition and herb usage.

    Is it frightening? Definitely if you have not been desensitized to horror trends (especially in the US, I've been watching streams and people are definitely more scared in other countries). Truthfully, for me there were a few jumps but not enough to make it frightening. I would compare it to Condemned or FEAR in terms of scare.

    Madhouse is also very challenging. It really tests your knowledge of the enemy and bosses and you will always have to decide whether to risk using ammo or running, because ammo is much more precious in Madhouse.

    The bosses, for the most part, are underwhelming. The 2nd boss fight was pretty decent, and the 3rd boss fight was good and truly felt like a RE boss fight, but the last boss was horrible. More cinematic than anything. FYI there is a special molded, which I would consider a miniboss and even harder than some bosses in Madhouse.

    I also thought the enemy variety was good, but could have added 1 or 2 more types. There's 4 molded types and 4 bosses (if you don't count the introduction). Also, there are bugs, but their more of an obstacle...a very annoying obstacle.

    Overall, it was a very good game. Probably the best RE since RE4. The first-person view was a refreshing change. I'm sorry for those that don't understand this, but 3rd person horror games aren't scary. I think the last time I was truly scared in 3rd person was Silent Hills when I was a child. I'm not saying 3rd person horror games aren't good (for example Dead Space and Alan Wake were really good imo), but 1st person adds the horror aspect while still maintaining the survival aspect.    … Expand

    + The original level design (spooky mansions, underground passages, laboratories) and map interconnectivity (a very good one) is here.
    + After a long time, the puzzles are back! There could be more of them, but I was happy with what I've encountered, as they seemed really logically placed.
    + Story-line is still based on the same themes - bio viruses and secret organizations.
    + Classic RE weapons are present, bosses are cool - especially Jack - a video game manifestation of T-1000. The last boss could've been better, but it did not ruin the game experience in any way.
    + The enemies (despite the small variety) are challenging and terrifying, also the dismembering physics is a great add on.
    + The game has a big replayability factor with different modes (and a free story DLC coming up in Spring).

    In my book it was RE 3: Nemesis as the last true RE game, afterwards the series lost it's appeal as a survival horror game. Though RE 4 was a good action game, it was a big departure gameplay/story wise from the main series and could've been titled as a spin-off (if RE 5 hadn't come out). Resident Evil 7 is a great comeback, a true sequel to longtime RE fans. It's very immersive, really fun, hard (on mad house difficulty), it uses classic RE formula, but enhances it with it's modern changes (great engine, first person view, a new twist in the story). After I finished RE 7, I decided to revisit RE2 & RE3 (since I played the RE1 remake not so long ago) and now I'd even dare to say that this title can truly tie for being the best RE to date.    … Expand

    officially my favorite horror game of all time
    Resident Evil 7 is a first person survival horror game where you play as a character named Ethan who gets a video from his wife who was kidnapped while babysitting
    this leads him to an old house out in the swamps of Louisiana
    As you explore this house and find its hidden passage ways you learn you’re not alone here…
    Tons of missing person cases around this time, but maybe this is just a coincidence
    There’s a crazy family…
    And you spend the game dealing with this family and trying to rescue and escape with your wife
    This is hands down the most terrifying video game I’ve ever played…
    And I don’t scare easy…
    Usually games only get me with cheap jump scares..
    I don’t ever expect more than that...
    Again I’m no Pewdiepie…
    But here I was genuinely terrified to progress during the first half of the game…
    The characters and setting are so eerie…
    you feel vulnerable throughout as you search the areas for keys and other items to solve a simple puzzle and move on…
    Even during moments of back tracking it never gets easier…
    each location feels just as terrifying as before…
    And you’re not even defenseless…
    You have a knife... you can pick up guns and other items to craft health packs and better ammo…
    but even with all of this you can’t help but feel your life is on the line around every corner…
    Where the game starts to fall apart is when they introduce the mud/mold type enemies that come out of the walls…
    they’re definitely terrifying at first… but only because they’re new…
    But they’re so over used that they quickly become an eye roll rather than a scare…. They eventually pose no threat…
    The game would’ve greatly benefitted from sticking to the style of focusing on 1 unique characters per section of the game like the first half instead of throwing in these generic monsters around every corner to deal with…
    They broke the experience immersion for me and reminded me this was a video game..
    And the games reliance on these enemies is worse as it goes on that by time I was in the final 3 hour stretch of this 7 and a half hour game I was running through them and the rest of the game like it was nothing… thankfully the final 20 minutes or so bring the game back to what it does best…
    But these putty creatures plucked from the power rangers are a joke.
    They’re a slight hiccup in the overall fantastically horrifying experience that is resident evil 7 though…
    The game is so clever with its puzzles, even doing subtle things like putting solutions or important item locations in these vhs tapes where you play as other characters.. these vhs tapes are just as terrifying as the main game, if not more at times…
    And you never feel stuck… again I beat the game in 7 and a half hours and I was very thorough…
    the game does a great job of bread crumb trailing you to the right items you need..
    Resident Evil 7 is also compatible with the PlayStation vr... which im sure makes this game even more terrifying...
    unfortunately this does get in the way of the game itself for those of us not using vr as theres this weird directional audio thing going on where you have to look at a character to really hear what they’re saying…
    That isn’t how real life works and its annoying.. .
    So for better and for worse, this game was definitely developed with vr in mind… it wasn’t an afterthought or an added gimmick…
    Resident evil 7 stumbles at times stopping it from being crowned as a true masterpiece…
    But I can’t look over the moments that bring it so close to that status…
    I can’t look over the fact that im one of the most unphased by horror people I know.. And this game got to me.
    This is hands down the best horror games I’ve ever played…

    I'm speechless. Didn't knew what to expect but man do I love absolutely everything about Resident Evil 7. The story, characters, immersion, the difficulty, tension, the puzzles, soundtrack and graphics. It's just brilliant. Going to wait till VR drops a bit in price and then replay the game again with it.

    Actually more like an 8 or 9, but I'm trying to balance out the fanboys who gave it a zero without actually playing it. Pros: Challenging enemies, great graphics, great mechanics, polished gameplay, scary as hell. Cons: It starts to lose a little momentum two thirds of the way through, possibly due to the setting not changing all that much, or because the story isn't all that compelling.Actually more like an 8 or 9, but I'm trying to balance out the fanboys who gave it a zero without actually playing it.

It has some typical jump scares and monster closet scenes, but you know what overall the game is paced out rather well. The action isn't over the top, and it sets a semi believe able world up for any future RE titles. I can't wait to see where the series goes from here.

    If you have a VR headset this is the game to play it's length is exactly what VR gamer have been looking for, the controls are great for VR. Though I would rather they lose the floating arms, but that isn't enough of a negative to deduct any points from it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El Juego llega a tener lo que hace a un resident evil pero voy a destacar los puntos mas favorables y desfavorables.
    [+]Lleva la esencia de tener que volver para atrás y abrir zonas que no se podían acceder, mediante un mecanismo que se uso mucho como el de llaves con distintos símbolos.
    [+]Su Atmósfera es muy bueno con tonos oscuros y sucios de ese filtro de su nuevo motor gráfico y con su sonido que te mete muy bien en el juego.
    [+]Su Jugabilidad es bastante buena en cuanto cantidad de armas que puedes usar, forma de tener que decidir si tener que hacer medicina o balas, falla algún punto como las mejoras del personaje. Lograron hacer un juego en primera persona bastante bueno con algún error (Jack baker sus ataques algunas veces te atraviesan) pero bueno
    [+/-]La historia me pareció bastante interesante pensando en recatar a mia, pero cuando la encontramos al principio ya dejo de ser una misión de recate a tener que escapar de la casa de los bakers (me parece que tiene un inicio un poco aburrido)
    [+/-]Su ubicación me gusta la atmósfera que se da en un pantano (Luisiana), los sectores de la casa están muy cuidados para que se puedan crear atajos y no es complejo para no quedar atascado, lo que si me parece que algunas zonas hay puertas innecesarias como donde se libra la batalla con Jack Baker, hay dos puertas una necesitas una llave cualquiera y otra una llave de serpiente. cuando consigue dicha llave es puerta solo te deja pasar a otra zona que habías explorado podría se un atajo pero te lo dan muy tarde, hubiera sido mejor un puerta de esta cerrada del otro lado.
    [+/-]Su personaje principal Ethan, yo creo que se hecha de menos esta entrega a los personajes clásicos pero Capcom quiere dar paso a personajes que no son nada del otro mundo solo personas normales, no gusto que Capcom no quiere que nos encariñemos con Ethan, como los demos personajes de la saga
    [-]Los enemigos, hay una cantidad muy baja en cuanto a variedad. los Bakers son enemigos recurrentes no están nada mal, pero los molded son los mismo con diferentes particularidades (pero son 3 o 4 tipos)
    [-]Su Duración es un poco corta de 10Hs-15Hs, (las 15 horas si lo terminas al completo)

    En fin que me pareció un juego Muy bueno en el cual la gente no creía y dice ser copia de otro juego del genero, pero llego a tener su esencia Resident Evil.    … Expand

    If you want to be scared by something this game should do it and I like the puzzles and Resident Evil tropes they throw at you like the Inventory System which is as close as they've gotten to 4's Inventory since that game debuted. It may seem a little annoying going back and forth between rooms and then grabbing your items, but it also reinforces your knowledge of area layout and forces you to act with limited resources, so I personally like the mechanic.

    I'd recommend the game if you're looking for something scary, but if you're looking for a run and gun or for the Resident Evil franchise to remain unchanged the game probably isn't for you.    … Expand

    Now comes Resident Evil 7. I am so delighted and I have a new found respect for Capcom.

    The story is awesome. It's not your "american horror story texas chainsaw massacre". In fact, it is actually JUST as Resident Evil 1... it's actually a conspiracy plot.

    You could tell that they did everything they could to study the older Resident Evils and find out what artistic elements made them what they were: Art. This shows big time from: The way the story progresses, the perfect balance of shooting without going into excess like Evil within did, great atmosphere, files and diaries you read to uncover the plot yourself, the item lockbox, the save rooms, the well-made puzzles, herbs for healing, the environments that were reminiscent of RE(they paid homage to the Main Hall of the Mansion from RE1 by making a similar main entrance), terrifying scenes, etc etc

    The only Con? The game is too short. I took my time and finished in 8 hours. But hey... I rather have a short game that is excellent than a long game that is a crappy attempt at pleasing the action crowd.

    Look. I am HARD to please. I rarely play video games. I only play one or two games a year and this game HAS SURPASSED my expectations as a Hardcore RE1,2,3 fan.

Definitely has a lot of rememberable characters. the atmosphere was creepy, set in the Louisiana bayou I was hoping to see a zombie gator but never came across any. Took me about 11 hours to complete and I was taking my time trying to find all the collectables. Only Cons I can think of is it was to short I wanted to keep playing longer and the ending could of been a lot better. So if you are on the fence of buying I would say buy it if you are a fan or buy it when it drops to $30 which will probably be soon.

Gameplay was solid and even though it was first person, it still very much felt like a Resident Evil game. Despite what some other reviewers have said, the Resident Evil lore and story connection actually fit quite well with a not in your face approach this time arrive leaving most of the game for the player to connect the dots, reading documents, files, watching VHS tapes, it adds to the whole build up and atmosphere to the end of the game. That game was intense, horrifying, on par with the likes of Outlast, but with much more gameplay depth that made this game feel more than just a guided walk through a house of horrors. The only thing holding this game back was the ending where I thought they could explained the aftermath a bit more and the impact of the game's event on the series, but once could also argue that this is just set up for later titles to build upon these events in RE7. I would definitely recommend this game to any longtime Resident Evil fan (if you already haven't picked it up) and especially if you are fan of polished horror experience that keeps you hooked all the way through.… Expand

    Resident evil is back on top!

    I have been a fan of the series since resident evil 4 which still stands as being one of my favorite games of all time. Since that game, the resi series has been going down hill quite rapidly. Resi 5 was good but not great and resi 6 was just a disaster. When resi 7 was announced I loved the idea of it going back to its roots and was praying that the    Resident evil is back on top!

    I have been a fan of the series since resident evil 4 which still stands as being one of my favorite games of all time. Since that game, the resi series has been going down hill quite rapidly. Resi 5 was good but not great and resi 6 was just a disaster. When resi 7 was announced I loved the idea of it going back to its roots and was praying that the fear factor wasn't being over hyped and that it wouldn't be a let down like the previous 2 games. Thankfully I had no need to worry, One of the best survival horror games out there.

    Before I get into my review, I am mainly talking about the VR version. i have played the entirety of the game in vr and played tiny portions of it on the TV just to see what the difference is. On an ordinary TV this game is great, so if you do not have a PSVR set the game is still great. However if you have a PSVR then quite honestly there is no other way to experience this game. The immersion and fear is quadrupled in VR it is spine chillingly brilliant. Obviously the graphics take a hit from how they appear on the TV but this never ever becomes an issue as actually feeling like you are inside this world is far better than having great graphics on the TV. Besides the graphics in VR are mostly very impressive besides outside which in all honesty can look quite poor at times. Just as an example of how much difference VR makes I tried a small part of the game on the TV and then after played the same bit in VR. I was walking into a room and dolls that were hanging on the ceiling dropped to the floor, on the TV I hardly even noticed and carried on moving forward. I played in VR and when the dolls dropped I literally jumped out of my own skin, because when things like that happen, just for that one second you actually believe that you are truly there.

    There are some criticisms of the VR mode that come to mind but none of these really detract from the game. The biggest issue I have which is also a big issue I have with many other vr games is that you only have disembodied hands and no arms I find this takes you out of the experience a little bit, although you do get used to it pretty quickly. I just wish developers could find a way to give you arms. There is also a very small part in the game where you get stabbed in the belly (this is not a spoiler) and when you look down you can see that you have no body and can just see the pen which you were stabbed with is basically floating in midair. The only other slight negative is that cutscenes are not in vr but appear on a large cinematic screen instead.

    Now for the game play. This is survival horror at its best you really do have to take care of the amount of resources you use up and think carefully about what you should bring with you and what you should keep in your storage box. Running low on ammo really ups the tension and makes you have to use stealth to the best of your ability. There are some genuinely good scares in this game too, both from the jump scares to genuine freakiness. What also adds to the tension is the fact that you don't always know where to go making you feel lost in a good way.

    I truly can't recommend this game enough!    … Expand

Upon your arrival in Louisiana, you encounter a psychotic family named the Bakers, but there is a dark secret behind their driven madness. Your goal is to save Mia and escape the Baker mansion.

    Gameplay: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a first person psychological survival horror game. You go around exploring the Baker mansion and the grounds, collecting items like antique coins, keys for certain doors, exploring puzzles, and fighting off the molded (enemy type) with weapons from handguns to grenade launchers. This is the only the beginning of the game; you never know what is going to be around the corner. Filled with many jump scares and psychological horror, you will beg for the game to be over. Each baker family member is a boss fight but they are not too difficult which is nice, and as you get farther into the game you dig deeper into finding out what is behind their madness, discovering that things are not always what they seem.

    Conclusion: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard delivers a punch when it comes to the horror; from the classic feel of a messed up house, things moving around and hearing sounds, the puzzles, finding hidden rooms where someone may be kept prisoner, in no way does this game fall short. It is worth the eight hours of your time.
    Resident Evil 7 Biohazard: 9/10
    Good Job Capcom.

    Within the years the franchise got older and boring.... The last episode was a kick in the ass for the former great gaming series. An action game like many others on the market.

    But this game ist great. This game is the next "new thing"!

    VR is a great opportunity. I really enjoy VR and this game is the best example to show how good it works!    … Expand

    I never really thought that there would be another really good resident evil, I was wrong this game is awesome!
    Just like the original it's all about surving monsters in a spooky house while solving some puzzles n stuff.

    Second thing I dont like is Madhouse difficulty.

    This is one of the best Resident Evils I've played in years. The attention to the atmosphere keeps you on edge all the time. The characters are disturbing, creepy, funny, and enjoyable. The story keeps you interested just trying to figure out what's going on. The guns follow a nice classic Resident Evil, handguns, shotguns, etc; It's satisfying blowing enemies heads off.

However, that's where this game falls short a little. The enemies are extremely bland. The boss fights, while some are fun, others fall short. The last boss can be slightly disappointing. All in all, I highly recommend trying this game for yourself.

    Positives:
    Good character design
    Guns are classics, and still enjoyable
    Multiple ways to play through the game

    Negatives:
    Enemies fall short on design
    Lack of variety

    So is Resident Evil 7 any good?? The answer is yes & no, for me. Though the game started off very strong, reminiscent of the original in the mansion. Trying to survive the baker family was intense especially when playing on madhouse difficulty, the boss fights at the beginning of the game were great though I was very disappointed with the last 2 boss fights as it just felt lazy as the monsters just looked a mess graphically to the point i cringed. I also felt the story at the end dragged on longer than it needed to, the overall sound & voice acting in this game is excellent though Ethan character appears a little bland    … Expand

    I've played nearly all the RESIDENT EVIL games and this is without a doubt my favorite. The graphics, gameplay, and story are fantastic. It's an intense thrill ride that keeps you playing for hours! The new "first person" approach worked beautifully for this game. If you're looking for a suspenseful, action packed game with a few puzzles, look no more!

    Resident evil 7 feels like a survival horror fps game? Yes.
    It feels like a true resident evil game? No.
    Is it worth playing? Of course. Is it scary? Yes. When I played the demo I didn't liked the idea of a fps game, and I disliked the main characters for being kind of weak and not memorable like Leon, Chris or even Ark Thompson. But after my friend got it I went to his home to play    Resident evil 7 feels like a survival horror fps game? Yes.
    It feels like a true resident evil game? No.
    Is it worth playing? Of course.
    Is it scary? Yes.

    When I played the demo I didn't liked the idea of a fps game, and I disliked the main characters for being kind of weak and not memorable like Leon, Chris or even Ark Thompson.
    But after my friend got it I went to his home to play it during the weekend, and let me tell you it is a really good and creepy game. You will feel rewarded after killing each enemy, and the atmosphere is amazing. The level design is not the best, but it is very well designed, the swamp, the houses and the trailer, all scary places and there is some good vibe about the scenarios. The graphics are good enough and the sound will make you insecure and scared, like there's somethin lurking in the darkness. The gameplay could have been designed better,but you really feel rewarded for your good aim, and most (if not all) enemies have a weak point, and you will find that some weapons work better against certain enemies, that right there is clever design. Puzzles are present and most of them are kind of easy to figure out but still very funny and you have to think and reason the solutions. The inventory design should have been like the classic resident evil games, but this inventory is in real time, wich I disliked the idea at first, but being honest it would be much easier if the inventory wasn't in real time. The key objects are very interesting and you can notice that they put effort in designing the doors, the objects and even the objects that you can watch but can't pick up. The whole world in resident evil 7 is worth looking at and you will feel rewarded for exploring each place. There are clues that guide you where to find some items or how to solve puzzles, and some other files will tell you the story of the game, wich is interesting but it could have been much better, like using better characters and using places related to umbrella or some kind of lab, but it's still a very good plot that has nothing to do with previous resident evil games, wich is very dissapointing.
    Finally, this game is funny, scary and immersive, The ammo and healing items are very limited and you should use them wisely, that's what I call survival horror, Hope the next entry in the series will return to 3rd person and add some more creepy music to the game.
    Beware of long loading times, that is not a good thing, thankfully you don't have to wait much between cutscenes.
    I give this game a 6.4, which is closer to 6 than 7, and if you are wondering if it is worth buying, let me tell you that you won't be dissapointed. Resident evil series is not dead yet.
    Good:
    + Good atmosphere and creepy places
    + Cleverly designed puzzles
    + This game is not hard at all, the difficulty is just normal
    + Nice graphics and audio
    + Good artwork and objects design
    + True survival horror elements, very limited resources and rewarding exploration
    + Plenty ammount of resources to be found, but they are still limited because some enemies take too much bullets to die.

    Bad:
    - Repetitive enemies and tedious gameplay (sometimes)
    - Awful boss fights (not all of them)
    - Confusing plot and uninteresting characters
    - Main character is too weak and has terrible voice acting.
    - Overpowered enemies and bosses, they take too many shots to die but they are still easy and predictable.
    - Unrealistic and cliche moments, like shooting that old man and he don't even react to the bullets, or like when you plug your leg back just with some liquid.
    - Terrible designed madhouse mode, wich only exposes the gameplay flaws of this game, this game does not have much replay value after all.

The voice acting is actually fantastic which is such a surprise since resident evil is known to have pretty bad voice acting. the gameplay is great, encounters with the baker family are unique and scary and you never feel that you have control of any situation and really feel like your trying to survive. unfortuently there is a lack of enemy variety but the baker family does a great job making up for that with how each one of them offers variety and new challenge throughout the whole game or atleast until you get towards the end of the game. this game is a hell of a good time and constantly surprised me with great memorable moments and an actually pretty solid story. the key things here were that the game was scary, fun to play and never got stale, with situations changing and great level design for a majority of the game and was a very memorable experience and im very excited for the future of resident evil.… Expand

Наверное, я бы тоже так думал, если бы на халяву, ездил по всяким заграничным мероприятиям и десятки раз проходил там разные части из игры.
    НЕ ВЕРЬТЕ!
    Это первая игра за 15 лет, которая смогла меня напугать! Даже вышедшая раньше игры демо, по началу, кажется пустой и безгеймплейной, что ли, составлена очень правильно, не из геймплея, а из ощущений.
    Игра хороша почти во всём. Визуально очень впечатляет на PS4. Мир проработан очень здорово, как улица, так и внутренние помещения. На мой взгляд как первые так и вторые в игре это замкнутые пространства, но вероятно это особенность данного движка.
    Шутерная механика тоже не плохая. Стрелять удобно и интересно, ну для серии Resident Evil конечно, тем более от первого лица.
    Атмосфера просто какая то запредельная. Я всегда утверждал, что более глубокой атмосферы, можно добиться только с видом от первого лица. Поэтому, она лучше, чем во всех играх серии, которые выходили с перспективой от третьего лица! Но в этом, как мне кажется и некий недостаток. Всегда кажется, что в любой момент тебя кто нибудь схватит сзади и сожрёт. Это очень похоже на ощущения в Alien: Isolation, мне не очень нравится.
    Антогонисты серии тоже хороши, как на подбор. Но к сожалению они какие то, не знаю как правильно сказать, не Resident Evilловские. По сути это просто люди со сверх способностями, ну кроме Джека и Эвелины в финале.
    Как понятно из вышесказанного, я не пробовал игру до релиза. Так, что все ощущения были естественными!
    Меня реально напугал Джек Бейкер проломивший стену прямо перед моим носом. А озверевшая Мия, страшна! Просто передёрнуло, когда она отпилила руку нашему протагонисту! И это я играл не в VR.
    Геймплей тоже на месте не стоит, здесь надо и прятаться, и отстреливаться, и разгадывать несложные головоломки. А когда надоедает этот прОклятый дом, нас переносят в прошлое, на какой то корабль и дают поиграть за Мию.
    Почему же тогда я написал - "Почти во всём"? А по тому, что все рядовые противники, ужасно унылые и однообразные плесневики! При этом их всего три разновидности и выглядят они все как то одинаково. И меня ну просто достал инвентарь Итана, каждый раз надо бежать к сундуку, что бы взять что-то или положить. Я понимаю это была необходимость на первой соньке, но сейчас 21 век.
    Ещё в игре очень не хватает русской озвучки, а шрифт субтитров слишком мелковат для консольного экрана и это нельзя изменить.
    Так же Крис Редфилд сам на себя не похож.
    Если последние строки не критичны, то игра очень хорошая, особенно если сравнивать с Resident Evil 6, в которой дух и атмосфера серии была заменена на бесшабашный шутан. Недостатки есть, но они какие то детские, очень надеюсь, что всё поправят в сиквеле.    … Expand

    Best game ever. Ignore the Sony haters reviews, these negatives are only pure rage because the game has been designed for the PS VR. If you have the VR headset and like the horror games this is a MUST, you will never get another experience like this.

    The history is really great and the first person perspective is the right choice, RE games always had a ton of problems with the camera    Best game ever.

    The history is really great and the first person perspective is the right choice, RE games always had a ton of problems with the camera and the first person perspective removes all these problems.

    For those who claim this has nothing to do with the RE series then they haven't played the game or they have just rushed to the end without taking care of the history (I will make no spoilers at all).

    The inventory management system is exactly what always has been on RE, a very important piece of the gameplay, also, for those comparing the game with Outlast there is the big difference that you have guns to defend yourself (at the end, exactly what RE has been always, horror but with guns).

    Also, the game really has a big replay value, there are A TON of secrets, secondary info and so on that you will not get at the first play, so each time you play it you will find new info and things, just like in the demo.

    So, if you like horror games, BUY IT, and if you have the VR head set and like horror games BUY IT NOW!!!

    P.D: It's very very interesting seeing that negative reviews are all from profiles with no reviews at all except this and all the positive ones come from users with multiple and well formed reviews...

    Also, if you want to know what REAL people which OWNS the game thinks about it, then just open Steam and see, only a 10% of negative reviews.    … Expand

    First off I have no idea why people are giving this bad reviews. What do you have bad taste in horror games or something? Resident evil has finally returned to its horror roots and it ends up being one of if not the best game in the series. It's scary, intense amd has some of the best scenes I've ever seen in a horror game. The atmosphere and graphics sell you on the dread and creepinessFirst off I have no idea why people are giving this bad reviews. What do you have bad taste in horror games or something?

It's scary, intense amd has some of the best scenes I've ever seen in a horror game. The atmosphere and graphics sell you on the dread and creepiness of your locales and the switch to first person works fantastically. I won't spoil any of the events just know that this is a amazing horror experience and is the change RE needed. I highly recommend this horror masterpiece. Enjoy your return to true horror and welcome to the family… Expand

    Resident Evil VII a gaming franchise that isn't afraid to reinvent itself (on numerous occasions) I'm a 41 yr old gamer, Remembering picking up RE1,RE2,RE3, then picked up the instant classic RE4. Played RE5 (hated it) Now when I heard that RE VII was going non RE traditional (like RE4) I had to buy it. Although not an instant classic like RE4, it's a Great Game!!!

Blind Playthrough approx. 12-14 hrs (perfect imho). It took parts of Outcast-RE to make a totally engrossing game replayability on the low side. But a great game, that quite frankly...felt like I needed a shower afterwards...and a new pair of undies. Better then RE5 to RE6...… Expand

    The goes out to both the Veterans of the series and the Newcomers. Resident Evil 7, is on par with the originals, and it really is a shame to see all the negative reviews around this game from "veterans" of the series simply because of the new perspective. The exact same thing with Resident Evil 4 and that is the best in the series with this only a few places behind that one. This isThe goes out to both the Veterans of the series and the Newcomers.

This is coming from someone who can be considered both a veteran aswell as newcomer as i enjoyed the old games despite not growing up with them. This is the honest score for this game. It is amazing, Scary, doesn't require too much prior knowledge so newcomers can pick it up, AND it literaly is the originals, just a different camera and a better inventory system… Expand

    Honestly, I don’t know if the world is ready for a game like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in VR and that’s exactly what makes it so exhilarating.

    Whether played in VR or not, Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a thrilling game and it shouldn’t be missed. If you have the option to play the game with a PSVR, you should by all means do so. Regardless of how you play Resident Evil 7: biohazard, just be sure that you do because it is one of 2017’s finest releases and the constant stream of DLC keeps the nightmare alive.
